I am going to be building my first computer and I need to know what graphics card that will run both games at 60+ fps on ultra. I would like to know what graphic(s) card would do this.

Also, I have been recommended the Evga GeForce GTX 780 or the Sapphire R9 290x. Would these be okay?

Setup:
● Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
● Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
● Asus Z87-PRO (V EDITION) ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
● Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 MemoryThanks
 
The 290X is more powerful than the 780, it's actually on par with the 780ti. The possible advantage to getting the 290X is Mantle. It is expected to give AMD GPU's a performance boost in BF4. How much, I can't say, there are a couple numbers out there from 10 to 45% performance boost. But the truth is, there are no real numbers, just estimates and marketing hype.

Due to the bit/lite-coin mining frenzy, the 290X is close in price to the 780ti, so it really comes down to if you want Mantle support. Either would give you great performance though.

Would 2GB of GPU ram(sorry, I don't know the name for it) be good enough for these games?
